You don't get any output because you don't have those packages installed.

Follow the guides Michal posted to install them.

hi,

man rpm

rpm -iv /full_path_to_the_packages/samba*


i think you need to resolve some dependency.

RHEL 5 has an utility called yum.

http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5.2/html/Deployment_Guide/c1-yum.html

Using this you can simply run as root:

yum install vsftp

yum install samba

Best regards,
